Molecular cloning is a crucial technique in genetic engineering that enables the precise design of synthetic transcriptional units (TUs) and the manipulation of genomes. GreenGate and several other modular molecular cloning systems were developed about ten years ago and are widely used in plant research. All these systems define grammars for assembling transcriptional units from building blocks, cloned as Level 0 modules flanked by four-base pair overhangs and recognition sites for a particular Type IIs endonuclease.

Article Synopsis
  • - Plant organogenesis relies on aligning metabolic resources with developmental programs, particularly in how roots form in Arabidopsis through lateral (LRs) and adventitious roots (ARs).
  • - Lateral root formation is driven by auxin and specific transcription factors, while adventitious roots depend on the activation of LBD16 by auxin and WOX11.
  • - The target-of-rapamycin (TOR) kinase plays a crucial role in regulating these processes by influencing the translation of key transcription factors involved in root branching and responding to metabolic signals.
